Keeanu Benton Highlighted As One Of ‘Under-The-Radar’ Rookies Impressing Early In Season

Through the first three weeks of the 2023 season, one rookie for the Pittsburgh Steelers is flying under the radar with limited snaps, yet is impressing in those reps.

That would be rookie second-round defensive tackle Keeanu Benton.

Benton has stepped up in a big way for the Steelers with star Cameron Heyward on Injured Reserve due to groin surgery and has provided some strong play overall.

In just 78 snaps, Benton grades out at a 73.7 overall from Pro Football Focus with two of his three games so far this season grading out in the 80s.
